One of my math books has a sample lesson plan that you can follow. I don't as I have been teaching for 14 years so I develop my own, but for new teachers it is a valuable resource.
I think it would be difficult if not impossible to do the lessons I plan. Therefore I make a plan for 3 days or so for a sub and put it and the materials in a "SUB TUB" That way if I was suddenly out without warning or any other reason, they could pick it up and go. I update it once in a while so it is appropriate for what we are doing.
Me? I have a weekly template that has all of the activities that we do each week and the standards that are covered in those activities. All I need to do is write the books, etc. that I need for the week.... special notes for the week etc. As my schedule changes during the year as my students grow as learners (I teach kinder) I usually re-do the template with different tasks about 3 times per year.

Any help is appricated, names of books, or lessons plans that you have created and would like to share.
If you were finalizing your lessons before the planning meetings, what's been the point of the planning meetings?
He might just be trying to help. Honestly, if there's a lot of stuff going that you can't be candid about in front of the principal, maybe him sitting in isn't the fundamental problem.
